Book excerpt: This sentence-to-paragraph-level text approaches writing as an idea-oriented process where grammar is a means to present ideas more clearly and effectively rather than merely as a set of rules to be mastered. The Writer's Compass guides students through prewriting, composing, and postwriting activities while thoroughly covering basic sentence- and paragraph-writing skills. The strong reading-writing connection is evident throughout, with readings in each chapter to prompt student writing.
